"WHIITIEH ON WHITFIELD.
The venarabln poet J. O. Whittier publishes In tho N. V. Indejtendent, ot laM week, under tho title of *' A Preach«r," a long and vivid poem on Whitfield, whose remains are interred under the Federal atreel Chnrchi Bostou.   Il opeus with ther>e Hues:

UNDER THE XTMBRELLA-
"Halloa! Sam, Frank, Freildy 1 dou't ]et tbem pait you so. Come U«re, quick, uuder my nmbrella I Then I guess lite suowballs won't touch yon—quick.'"
The little urchins addresseJ followed tbe wise advice, and begau to scatopar as fast as tbeir little legs coulJ carry tbem toward tbe offered shelter, tumbliug down several times in their baste, but scrambling np again, and Boon reached the friendly shelter of the um¬ brella. They huddled togetlier uuder it, aud tben lowered it to the ground on lbe side nest their yonng assailants, raising it now and tben to utter shouts of defi;mce, or throw a volley of suowbalb, if their adversaries ventured too near. Thanks to their min.v tare fortress, they came off victorioua in the contest.
A young girl was passing at the ujoment- Her face all coldness and passionless, did not denote one quickly or easily moved into eitber interest or- amusement. Tbia expres¬ sion, or ratber waut of expression, seemed babitual, wbetber natural or assumed. Now, however, as ahe witnessed tbe scene, a smile, slight but perceptible, played aronnd her lips, but even the smile bad something bitter in it, and it quickly faded, flrst Into thougbtful- ness, tben sadness, tben was lost in inanimtu- tion.
In spite of its need of beart-warmth and ligbt, ber taee interested. One could see witb tbis need supplied, it would be irre.^istably beauiiful, and longed to make the attempt to wake into life the chilled or sleeping pbweijs —if powers tbey were—of love and happiness. ¦ "Heigho ! I wisb 1 could get under an um¬ brella," she exclaimed, unconsciously aloud as abe passed slowly on.
Now Annie Rathburu did not precisely mean tbai she would like to creep uuder an um¬ brella like the hoyd did. She bad altogether too keen a perception of tlie ridiculous, and possessed loo nice a sense of propriety to auppose a young lady conld do aa littlo boys did. Besides, altbougb it had snowed a lit¬ tle in the moruing, aud bad threatened to piove a stormy day, it bad only been "make believe"—tbe suu wag now sbiuiug brilliant¬ ly ; and secondly, if tbe threat bad proved reality, sbe bad no fear of wiud or snow or ratn.
But Anuie did mean that sbe wished a pro¬ tective shelter frnm the elemeuts of domeatic discord—from tbe cold shower of petty an¬ noyances and peraecutious wbiuh daily pelted down upou ber poor ht-art, till all its hope and love aud life seemed to have died out, and it only sent out a feeble wail in the ex¬ clamation just uttered.
"A strange wish, yonng lady, wbeu tbe sun shines so brightly ; but, however, you shall get nuder my nmbrella, if you wish— it is large, and strong, and blue."
Annie met tbe ecrutiuiziog look of tbe old lady who bad'addressed her, cooly and com¬ posedly, aud surveyed hft iu turu, though acarcely at first with so much interest as cu¬ riosity. She might bave been uear sixty, Ihough the bealihful color lhat still blushed the scarcely wriukled cheeks, the keen bright eyes and fullered figure, would have denoted a mucb younger aue. Uer voice was harsh, yet uot nupleasaut, her mauuer abrupt and independent. It was easy to decide her posi¬ tion to be higher than ber dress indicated, aud easier yet to perceive ber lo be au eccen¬ tricity. Annie's pride was disarineii by tbis Very eccentricity, aud sbe auswered:
'* Thougb your umbrella may he large, aud strong, and blue, madam, it is neither large euough, or strouR euough, uor blue euough to protect me.   Keep it."
"How kuow you lhat, youug lady?   You may some time ibiuk very differently," she replied, witb a keen glance of ber small, gray eyes.   " It is a good .staunch nmbrella," and fibe held it np before Annie's eyes; "but however, siuce you disdain it, perbaps I can give you directions for making one which will fierve your purpose mucb better.   Take square, a very large square.of patience, yonng lady, striped equally with kinduess and firm¬ ness for the covering.    But the frame-work is tbe most important, my child," and her voice grew solemn, *^that must be atrong— equal io any weight whicb may either ex¬ peotedly or unexpectedly be placed upon it— strong, invincible faitb in Divine love and grace.   The points of it must be tipped with tbe jewela of love, faith, charity, humility, forbearance, and all otber Christian graces. Delay not in making it.   It is well to be pre¬ pared for storms even wUpu tbe sun shines." Annie was startled ont of ber composure. *' How could this singular person have read 80 well the meaniug of her exclamation ?" she exclaimed, half mockingly, balf sadly.
" All these materials I "Where shonld I flnd them ?"
" Where I   I hope you flnd some or all in
yon will flud thera only at tho foot of the Cross. S'-areb for them. Make it.andit will ahield you from many a trouble. Let mw fiud its protecting shelter over yon when we meet again.   Farewell."
Annie became loat in a reverie so deep, af¬ ter the old lady had left ber, that abe almoat forgot several important errands, bat fortu¬ nately remembering them, turned bar steps homeward, lingeringly and reluctantly.
God pity tboae wbo have a just dread of their homea ! Better, far hetter, to be a home¬ less wanderer on the face of the wide earth, than bave and fear the place wbioh heaven designed sbon Id be tbe safest refnge, tbe dear- estspot for the world-wearied, world-troubledf -rto be apprpacbnd with eager steps and long¬ ing hearts ; tbe oue oasis amid an earth-wide desert, where the never ceasing springs of love and peace and happiness should ever be fonnd.
The bouse wbicb the young girl shrank from entering bora no appearauce of poverty or di.''comfort. On tbe contrary, it was a large, fashionable briok house, witb cheerful looking wiudows, iuto which tbe sun-light smiled, and witb doors of an inviting aspect. Annie Rathburu bad iu tbat house a step¬ mother, a stepsister, two balf sisters and a half-brother. Why was there aught for dread in tbat fact ? We will answer. Siuce the time the Widow Hartley entered that bouse as its mistress, the wife of Mr. Rathburu and step-mother to bis ouly child, tbe latter baa been au objpctof envy and dislike to the lady; and, as her prejudiaes were strong, and her disposition arbitrary, the martyrdom of tbe ohild Aunie commenced; uot by blows or. harsh language, or the deprivation of auy of tbe luxuries to which tbe child was accusi- tomed. She was too polite for that, aud re¬ garded the opinion of the world too highly to hazard that; but by cutting sarcasms, wonud- ing the child in the tenderest points, aud tbe yet more effective weapon of ridicule, by wil fnl misanderstandiug aud artful misrepre. seuiatious to her fatber, tbereby alienating from her, in a great measure, her father's affection.
Had Anuie Rathburu been of a weafc char¬ acter, or humble disposition, sbe bad been crushed loug ere this iuto the submissive thing Jlfji. Rathburu wished, with no will of her own ; but the resolute, bigh-apirited child seemed uuconquerable. Her step-mother sometimea became discouraged,and regretted tbat since she could not conqner her, sbe bad not rather endeavored to manage her by artful fiattery and pretended affectiou; bnt the time for that faad long since goue by.
Snrely Mrs. Rathburu might have been sat¬ isfied. Her work was appareut enough.— Annie, from a gladsome, warm-hearted, im- sutsive, generons child, bad become a proud, cold, unsocial, unsympathising girl of eigh¬ teen.
There was one warm place in Annie's heart yet, however, and her little Jialf-hrotber. Willie, had crept into it. He was only six years old, and had been au invalid almoat from bis birtb—a little, helpless cripple. He was the ouly one oflhe children who resem¬ bled ber father iu features or disposition j and beautiful was the affection existiug between Aunie and tbis cbild, be depending almost entirely upon her for bis pleaaures—she over teuderly ministering unto him. It was tbe wonder oftbe family that of them all, Willie cared mo^t for cold, qniet Aunie, and was ever happy wheu she was witb him. But it was when alone with him that Annie mani¬ fested tbe most tenderness ; but then—ah ! well might be persist iu saying ." he knew sister Annie loved him."
Lilly, tbe youngest cbild, was four years old, Eva, joat bursting into womanhood, aud Edith Hartly a few montbs older than Anuie. Both Edith and Eva were radiantly beauti¬ ful, strongly resembling their mother iu fea¬ ture aa well as miud. The former waa vain, selfish and unfeeling; but, she seemed so apparently amiable and artless, aud was so brilliant, aud conld render herself so agreea¬ ble, it was difficult at first to read bur true character. Eva was less artless, and was kind aud pleasant enongb when her wisbes were not thwarted, hut ill-tempered aud nn- reasonable otherwise. It may well he believ¬ ed that with their mother'a example and training, they did not assist in making Annie's bome pleasaut to her.
Anuie'3 position was scarcely altered by her father's deatb three years before our atory opens. He was an easy, unsuspicious man, and his wife had long swayed bim completely by her superior art aud stronger will. He trusted ber completely ; and hefore his death made no separate provision for tbe cbildren, hut by his will both they and bis consid¬ erable property were left toher soleguardian- ship.
Now, as before, Annie waa treated as one apart from the family. In the frequent family consultations she was never consulted. Al' tbeir arrangeiueuts were made witbont the slightest referenca to ber wishes or conveni¬ ence. Sbe was iu every way made lo feel her isolation. Now, as before, there was a silent contest going on betweeu ber step-mother and berself—she struggling bravely, thongb qni¬ etly for her rights, lbe former to withhold them. The coutest was nnequal,but if Annie was sometimes appareutly subdued, she was never conquered.
There was an additional reason why Annie was unwilling to return home this particular day. She expected to find there Mrs. Lothrop, an old and valued friend of ber father's wbo had written three weeks before, tbat she waa coming to make them a loug visit, and that on her return she sbonld invite oue of the young ladies to make an indefinitely long visit.
The wildest hopes bad been raised in Mrs. Rithliurn's bosom by the reception of this let¬ ter; for Mrs. Lothrop was possessed of. an enormous fortnne, witbout a single relative in the world—save a great nephew, who was also beir lo a large property, aa much as any rea¬ sonable man need wish to have. Her grand¬ son and destined heir bad died tbree years before. What so probable tben, as tbat she was abont to choose an heiress toher wealth, and had thought—as itwas proper sho shonld think—of the children of her most valued frieud ! She ceriainly must have some parlic¬ nlar object iu proposing tbia visitatthis time, when .she had never visited tbem before, tbougb often urged to doso^ Mrs- Rathhnrn had never seen ber.
Thus Mrs. Rathburu reasoned ; and she de¬ termined that eitber Edith or Eva ahould be the fnture heiress.
Greal wnre the preparations made for the expected gue.sts—for Mrs. Lothrop's nephew, Air. Kirkwood was lo accompany ber, and many the bints given to Kditb and Eva con c^riiing tbeir bearing to both—for Mrs. Rath¬ buru had ber designs on botb auut and nephew.
Prom childhood Annie had heard of Mrs. Lothrop. She had been charmed witb the various slories told of her great-hearted ness and eccentricity, and cherished the most ex alted opiniou of ber oharaoter ; but much aa ahe would bave liked to see ber and know her under other circumatances, the knowledge of ber Btep-motber*.=i designs made her appre¬ hend tbat lhe visit would be prodnctive of too much unhappiness aud mortification to her¬ self, in her step-mother's fear lhat sbe might fiud favor in tbe eyes of her father's friend, lo desire it.
Slowly, therefore, she ascended the steps. The trunks yet iu the hall, the unusnal bustle tbat prevailed, and confused murmuring of voices, admonished ber lhat tbe expected guests had arrived.
W hen she entered the parlor, a short lime after, Mrs. Rathburu said, "this is .Annie," in a tone that told her at once ahe had been the snbject of previous conversation—and sbe knew full well that whatever her- step¬ mother might have bad to say abont berself, oould not have beeu to het advautage.
face, wbicb had lighted it at the anticipation of seeing her father'a friend, faded away at this ^stitnelhing in her mother's tone; but atill, witb more"cordiality tban sbe was wont to abow, she advanced to the lady. What was her astonisbment, when she perceived ber to be the strauger wbo bad accosted her iu tbe street. With a start, aud a bright smile of recognition, she hold out her hand. With mortification she saw that the lady did uot or would not recognize ber. Her hand was just touched, not taken, and a brief in¬ quiry made after ber health, in a business¬ like toue to wbich Anuie,*ins»anlly relapsing into eveu more tban her usual iuioeas of man¬ ner, replied laconically, almost baui^htily.— Her step-mother's glauce songht Mrs. Lothrop with an expression which saiil, " Yon aee it is as I told yon."
Anuie was then named to the elega»t and distinguished looking stranger, conversing with Edith Hartley in the bay window, and who waa so engrossed witb bis fair cornpan" iou, be barely gave her a bow, acarcely a glance.
Mrs. Rathburu was delighted at Annie's cool reception from Mrs. Lothrop, so differeut from what Edith's and Eva's bad been. She did not reflect that these yonng ladies, acting accordiug to ber instructions, had given tbe lady no cboice, but had received her with such raptures, aud overwhelmed ber with so many atteutions and caresses, that sbe could not have repulsed them without absolute rude¬ ness. But Mrs. Lothrop did not consider thia aod oongratulated berself tbat her bints re- gardiuy Aunie bad so marked an effect.
Annie was not mistakeu in ber apprehen¬ sions of annoyances aud mortifications; they were, iudeed, innumerable. Sbe never op¬ posed worda to injustice, or condescended to explanations. When acbild, goaded at times beyoud her quick, warm temper to bear, she would give way to the mosl violent paroxysms of tears aud passion ; but th it waa loug ago, and sbe bad bad both time aud opportnnity to learn oommand of tongue and temper;— tberefore she endured the taunts and sar¬ casms, appareutly bidden from others by their ojothing of smiles and kindness—the wrong coustruction put upon her words, and the false motives ascribed to her actions, silently aud with an immovable countenance; aud wheu, at last, sbe took refuge with Willie the greater part of the time, Mrs. Rathburu, witb a pa|ued air," boped Mrs, Lothrop wonld excuse poor, dear Annie's iucivilily in neglect- lug to reuder the attentioua due to ber, and the unnecessary absenting of berself from her preseuce. She bad ventured to hope tbat Auuie would at least treat witb respect so dear a friend as her father's. As for affection, ahe bad long since despaired of ber feeling that for any one ; indeed, she seemed to be witbont heart or feeling—she cared for no liviug thing bat herself. No oue could tell the grief and trouble she bad caused her—ao dia'eront from her otber ohildren, with tbeir affectionate and unselfish dispositions, who would do all they could to repair Annie's ne¬ glect ; tbey tbemselvrs were obliged lo hear a great deal from ber."
As Mrs. Lothrop listened to tbis and other like remarks with attentiou aud in silence, Mrs. Rathburu become sure of her sympathy, aud grew leas guarded iu ber manner of apeak¬ ing to and of Annie.
One morning, Mrs. Lothrop, who bad come in her own carriage, said she wouldbe happy lo have two of the ladies accompany Mr. Kirkwood and herself in a short drive. Mrs. Rathburu, whose income did not permit of an eatablisbmeut, replied that Edith would he delighted to go—sbe herself .would be most happy to accompany them, bnt some domestio affairs reqnired her persoual superintendence therefore Eva would take ber place.
Annie, who was present, seemed to be en¬ tirely oul of the qnestion. Mrs. Rathburu saw Mrs. Lothrop glance at'ber, and replied lo the look, by saying, in a low voice, bnt audible to all: *
"I shonld have proposed Annie's going, but conld uot bear to inflict her upon you.— You know she doea make herself so disagree¬ able ! She*would not enjoy it berself or suf¬ fer auy one else to do ao."
" Is tiie girl au idiot ?" thougbt Mr. Kirk¬ wood, glancing at Annie's inauimate ,fac6 during tbis speech. It was the first thought or^ glance he had given her, and abe was speedily forgotteu in the fascinating attrac¬ tions of Edith.
"Duped ! duped completely by their art and flattery 1-' Ihonght Annie, bitterly; aud with a slight feeling of contempt for Mrs. Lothrop's weakness, looking np for the first time, as they were going ont ofthe room, and meeting tbeeyes of thesubject ofher thoughts fixed npon ber with tbe same keen glanoe she bad felt tbe morning of thtiir first acquain¬ tance, seemiug to read her thoughts. Serv¬ ants are quick to learu the degree of estima¬ tion iu which tbe varions members of the family are held. A new servant had been engaged a f^w days before Mrs. Lothrop's ar¬ rival. She soon'peroeived it was riot necessary to lake moch pains to please " only Annie.''
Her maimer waa perfectly-aelf-possessed and lady-like—neither look nor tone betraying the least diffidence or even conaciousnesa of having a listener.
How pale, and cold, and inanimate ahe seemed ; bnt as be obaerved her olosely, he began to andpect tbat what he bad mistaken for weak submission, was rather excesa of pride. He saw too, with surprise, tbeex¬ treme beaaty of her form and features ; he admired tbe finely shaped bead, balf bent over the book, with ita dark abundant bair, and her voice low, rioh and sweet. He won¬ dered if her eyes were as beaatiful aa the rest of ber face, bnt she gave him no opportunily to decide, for she neither looked at nor spoke to bim till Edith appeared, i^ben to bis cour¬ teous bow, wbich Edith saw, (with a disdain¬ ful curl of the lip, that he ahonld have wasted upon Annie) she returued a slight inolination of the bead.
Edith was a brilliant performer npon tbe piano, and seemed never weary of playing and singing for Mra. Lothrop, who waa enthu¬ siastically foud of music.
A few morning after this, wben Edith had finished playing, aud Mrs. Lothrop had ex¬ pressed in ber peculiar way her thanks and gratification, the latter auddenly turned to Annie, and said: " Do yoa not play also ?".; Before Aunie could reply, her step-mother answered for her.
"Anuie oommenoed takiug lessons when a child, bnt we fonud she bad not a correct ear; and her father had a horror of girls who drum ou the piano witbout producing musio."
Mr. Kirkwood eyed the young girl intently aud curiously wbile Mrs. Rathburu waa speaking, but neither cbe^k flushed, nor eye flashed, nor lip curled a denial of the state¬ ment.
What a mystery sbe was to himl This young girl, with her reserve, her coldue3s,her command over tongne and feature.
He had been ear and eye-witnesa to a cir¬ cnmstance tbe day previous, whicb would bave enabled him to enlighten Mra. Rathburu upon tbis very snbjuct, if he had beeu so disposed.
He bad made an engagemeut in tbe morn¬ ing to make some visits witb the ladies, but in cousequence of tbe reception of some let¬ ters, wbicb required immediate answers, he was prevented from fulfilling it. After assist ing tbe ladies into the carriage, be repaired to a small room opening by a glass door from the parlor, for thepnrpose of answering his correspondence. He had been there but a few minutes when Annie entered tbe parlort wheeling in little Willie. She looked onl of tbe window, then carefally closed the door iuto tbe ball. With a feeling of annoyance be saw her open tbe piano and ait dowu to it, for he waa in no mood to be disturbed by the discordant sounds he expected would succeed aud there was no egress except tbrongh tbe parlor.
He was, tberefore, little prepared for the rich strains of harinony that broke upon bis ear. The touch, the taste, the execntion was perfeot. There was no bungling, no harahnesa, nor discord— all waa smoth, easy, harmoni¬ ous.
At first sbe played from memory, then some of Edith's most difficult pieces, and lastly ran over some new music he had himself tbe day before presented to Edith, which she had de¬ clared " so difficult she feared she never sbould be able to play to suit him," with a oorreotness aud rapidity which astouisbed him, knowing tbat sbe could not have seen it previously.
Duriug this time she bad once or twice ris eu and looked ont of the window as if sbe thougbt she heard the carriage reluming; but fiudiug berself mistakeu, resumed her seat. ¦ Her little'auditor, for whose pleasnre she was evidently playing, after every piece re¬ newed his entreaties for one moru. He now urged for a song on Eva's harp. Annie hes¬ itated ; but as he continued to plead, after another glance from the window, she went to the corner where the instrument stood, uncovered it, sat down, and after running her fingers over the strings, commenced a simple German song." If her unknowu auditor was astoniahed before, hia astonishment waa not lessened n ow. The yoaug girl'a voice, nat- araly rich, sweet and full, had evidently been highly cultivated; and she sang witb taste and feeling, playing with artistic skill, while the pnre accent of the Qerman words evinced an extensive knowledge of tbat lan¬ guage.
Willie could not prevail upon bis sister to fiing again, much to Mr. Kirkwood'a dissa- poiutmeut; and'after abe had covered tbe harp, both left tbe room, leaving Mr. Kirk¬ wood filled witb admiratiou and wonder¬ ment.
He did uot know of the one hright spot in Annie's life—tha three years gleaming up like a flash of sunlight amid the darkness that preceded and followed, spent with her fathera aister in a distant oity, where  tbe
respecting the sweetness and affectionateness of Edith's diaposition—the auperiority of Eva's intellect over tbat of otfaer girl's of her age ; bnt whetber abe preferred sweetness of disposition lo superiority of intellect, baffled all Mrs. Rathburu'a ingennity to find out.— She confessed to berself thst Mrs. Lothrop was trnly a pecniiar woman—more bo than ahe had expected—an enigma tbat could not be mada out.
Her uncertainty waa not lesa regarding Mr. Kirkwood's sentimenta aud intentions toward Edith. That he admired her was evident.— He rode, walked aud sung with ber, aud was ever ready to attend to ber, yet there was not qnite the empressment of manner aba could have wished—she sometimes Imagined even less than tbere had been at firat. She feared, too, he bad made an impression ou her daughter'a heart. She had noticed an anxiety to please him in her dress and ac¬ tions ; that she blushed on seeing him at any time anddeuly; and adept as sbe was iu art, showed ill-concealed pique if he admired any otber lady than herself..
Tbe mother's highest ambition would be gratified, could she see her daughter united to him.    His fortune, position, person, man¬
nf tbe anticipated iuvitation.   Eva also look¬ ed couHcious and toyed with her braceleta.
Auuie, only, had uo hopea, no plans. Since the night of Willie's death, sbe had not ex¬ changed more tban two or three Bentencea with Mra. Lothrop, and she alone uttered no regrHts at the annonnced departure, or entrea- tiea to remain longer.
Mrs. Lothrop continued:
"I believe yon were so kind,'Mra. Rath- burn, as to promise that one of tbese young ladiea should accompany me homa ? Annie," turning to her, " will yoa do roe the favor to accompany me? I will do everything in my power to render your viait pleasant. Cau you be ready by Mouday?"
The yoang girl was too much astonished aud bewildered to reply.
Mrs. Rathburu, white with rage and disap¬ pointment, made an excuae for leaviug the room. She was sbortly followed by Edith and Eva. Tha former burst into tears of jealousy and mortification the moment aha reached ber mother's room, while Kva gave free vent, in words, to her indignation.
When aloue with Aunie, Mrs. Lothrop leaned over her, and said, arohly:

She entered tha room ouo moruiug to ask Mrs.    young girl had found all tbe love and  cara
Rathbum where she sbonld find sorae articles ahe needed. Mra. Rathburu was vory busily angaged, and replied:
" Ask Miss Edith if she will please—no 1 there'a Annie t lell herto sbow yon."
The girl approached Annie, and aaid, famil¬ iarly :
"Annie! Mrs. Rathbum says you are to show me. where to flud the new curtains to the east cbamber.
Annie neither moved nor aeemed to hear. The girl repeated ber name. Auuie looked up aud asked quietly :
" Do yon wish anything of Miss Annie ?" Tha girl understood the reproof, and looked abashed.   She said reapectfolly:
"Ifyou wonld please, Miaa Annie, to ahow me where to find the curtains."
Tbe yoang girl rose and followed her oat, and was never after addreaaed by her save iu a respectful manner.
As Annie passed Mra. Rathbum in going ont of the roum, the latter aaid coolly, to Eva:—
" Annie's dignity,aeema to cause her a great deal of trouble."
Snsau waa not tbe ouly persou from whom Annie was forced lo exact respect.
Tfae cbildren were both in the library. It waa a cbeerfnl, annny room, and littlo Willie bad been carried into it duriug the airiug of nuraery.   Anuie^was witb them.
Tbe door opened auddenly, and Mr. Kirk wood looked in.   Ha bad seeu but little of
and appreciation denied ber al homa. Her annt aurprised at her ignorance of all accom- plisbmenta, on her own responsibility afford rd her every advantage for improvement.— Her talent for mnsic was discovered, and the best masters o!>taiued, and in which atndy her improvement was remarkable. But death called away Aniiie's oue friend, and sbe returned home, sorrowing deeply for her whom she had so many reasona to mourn.
Tbat Aunie felt uo diaposition to display the accomplishments iu which she could not but ba couscious so far excelled Edith, and which, therefore, would but increase her an¬ noyance and nnhappiness, may be   inferred.
It was only in the quiet ofher own room, that sbe pnrsued her studies, while her prac¬ tice of mnsio was necessarily irregular, he¬ ing confiued to those periods wben the fam¬ ily were absent.
Mr. Kirkwood saw Aunie the next evening under'^ more advantageons circnmslanoes than be had yet seen her. It was at a large patty. She was dressed with exquisite taste and her dark hair was worn in broad braids, arrauged witb the most artistic grace. He thought her, iu her calm, proud beauty, far ib^ most elegant girl present. He was not atoue iu his admiratiou. Although she de¬ clined dancing, she received marked atteU' tion from several of the most prominent gen tiemen present.
Mrs. Rathburu saw, with chagrin and dis¬ appointment, that while ber brilliant Edith
Annia.    It is doubtful, in truth, if be could | numbered iu ber large crowd of admirers the
bave lold in what relationship she atood to the beantiful Edith, so littla bad he heeded ber. That sbe was not considered of mudb importance in tba family be must bave been aware; aud jndging from tbis as well as from her manner, conclnded withont giving the snbject farther thonght, that she was iu real¬ ity the weak, cbaructerless girl ahe seemed. The opinion might unconsciously have in¬ fluenced him, or else in bia hsstp be was for¬ getful ; at all events, though ha was usually a courteous man, even to bis inferiors, lie said, without the moruiug satntatiou:
"Ah '. 1 lbought Ml-Js E Iith was here. Can you tell mo where sbe is?"
Auuie said, pointedly: "Good morning, Mr. Kirkwood." Aud after a minute's pause, replied to his question :
"Edith was here a moment ago. Sit down, ifyou please ; Lilly will call ber." The uhild went at ber bidding. The gentleman colored and smiled at tbe idea tbat it was neceasary that be, with his advautages of sooiety and travel, should he taught manners by " only Annie."
He sat dowu with au iucrease of respect for tbe young girl, and looked at her with a slight degrea of interest. He had a good op¬ portanity to contemplate her. She had im¬ mediately resnmed her previous oooapation
vaiu, shallow, the Irifliug, the brainless fasb- iouists, those who surrounded the dialiked Aunie, if less iu number, were men of mark, wbose notice any girl would bo proud of ob¬ taining.
Tbe few altentiona Mr. Kirkwood rendered thefirst of the evening, were so coldly re¬ ceived by the young girl lhat be did uot con¬ tinue them. Piqued aud offended, he did not approach her again, bnt devotod himself aa mncb as he was able to Edith It might be this waa what Annie wiahed and intended; for abe kuew tbal jealous eyea were watch¬ ing him, and felt uo willingness forhis sake to undergo fresh annoyances. . Meanwhile, the daya of Mra. Lothrop's visit were passing. Mrs. Rathbum was perplexed beyoud measura tbat she could discover noth¬ ing of tbat lady's intentions.
Nothing farther bad been said of eitber of tfaa young ladies accompanying her. Her future heiress could not be conjeetured.
With dne deli'^aoy and tact sha had con' doled with Mrs. Lothrop on her diasapoinl- ment in losing ber destined heir, and hinted that perhaps sbo found Mr. Kirkwood worthy of supplying bis place. Sbe had en¬ deavored to sou ud- her couceruing her opinion of Edith and Bva, bnt perversa BIrs. Lothrop woald not be sonnded.    She
wore.    Bending over WilUa  she kissed him fondly, and said—
" How is my darling now ? Is the pain all gone? I did not meau lo leave him so tong ; but Edith's dress could not be completed for the party to-night, nnlesa I assisted; and mamma's head-dress bad lo be altered.. But aee! I have bronght something nice, and after you eat it, I will tell you a beautiful—"
Sha paused abruptly, perceiving, for the first lime, Mrs. Lothrop, aeated near the door tfarongh wfaich site bad entered.
In an Instant Auuie waa her usnal aelf again. She saluted the lady politely, but coldly, and their spoke agaiu to WiUie ; but tha tender-hearted boy was greived aud fright, ened at tbe tone, so different from wbat it was a moment before ; aud looking up taarfnlly in her face, asked—
" Am I naughty, sister Annie ?" " No, Willie," she replied coldly, andat the aame   time gently,   bnt   deoidedly, putting away Lilly, who waa trying to climb iuto her lap.
It waa not without some reaaon that Aunie relapsed into sileuce and coldness in Mrs. Lothrop's preseuce,
Annia was uot ofa jealousdisposition—she expected so little, poor cfaild t and she was so accustomed lo aee ber aisters preferred be¬ fore herself, in every way at bome—but tbe difference in the treatment of herself and her gay, beaniiful aisters, by Mrs. Lothrop, was too marked for her not too perceive and feol. Sbe was not unused to neglect, butthis seem¬ ed to verge upou dislike; and from ber fa¬ ther's friend it was harder to hear.
Mrs. Lothrop could uot be said to ahow af¬ fection for Edilb,:and Eva; but ehe diatiU' gniabed tbem by mucb notice, and aougbt to draw onl their ideas aud opinions npon avery posaible subject. But Annie sbe sel¬ dom noticed in any way. It seemed like dream lo the youug girl—the kind tonea of Mrs. Lothrop's voice, tfae morniug she had first seeu her; but then she kuew ber not— had never aeen her more brilliant and attrac¬ tive aistera—had never heard of tbe unloved and unlovely Annie.
And the young girl encased herself more strongly in her armor of indifference.
But har greatest misfortune was coming. It arrived.
Willie awoke one moming, apparently bet¬ tor and brighter thau usual, and befoie night he slept in death! •
The grief of the family was great. Annie alone was calm and tearless duriug all that dreadful day. Once only her lipa quivered —when the dear eyes, darkening to the ligbt of earth, vainly sougfat to befaold ber, aud tbe faiut voice gasped witb difflculty— " Where's Annie ? I want Annie." She bent over him, saying something un¬ heard by otfaers, but which brought an angel¬ ic amile to the conntenanee of the dying child. She wiped tbe death-dews from hia fair forehead, and held the little hand till the lifa beat ceaaed; tben, still calm, ahe atraigh- tened the limbs, olosed tbe blue eyes whicb had been wont to meet hers so lovingly, and folded tbe pale hands over tbe stilled heart.
Even in her great sorrow—for sha had" loved faer boy—Mrs. Rathbum forgot not to reproach Annia for utter want of feeliug— that ahe had not one tear for tbe darling child who had loved her so dearly. And Annie beard ber with an immovable counte¬ nance.
It was after the honsebold had retired that the young girl sought, aloue, the cbamber of deatb; and then and tbere the long pent-np agony burst forth—ob wbat an agony of re¬ gret—for the lo3t one, as the recollection of fais loveliness, hia hnndred endearing ways his childish prattle, came over bim I
With her present sorrow mingled the mem¬ ory of the past—all bittemesa, save tbia one drop of sweet—all darkness eave this oue ray of light, now extinguished, and looming up witb too well-defined distinctness, waa the future, wilh iis darkness, gloom and desola¬ tion.
It was an hour of utter abandon. Hot, gushiug tears, such as she had forgotten abe could shed, aeemed to have no power in ex¬ hausting the force of her sorrow. Sfae waa not startled—sha was too wretched to be startled at anything—when a hand waa laid on ber head and a voice aaid :
"Child Annie, where U thy umbrella? Hast tbou not found it? If not, fiud it now aud bide thyself nnder it. There is no refuge like to that it rtill yield thee."
The door cloaed gently behind tbe peraon, but Annie waa acarcely conscious of tbat, or tbe voice or the touch ; but the worda sauk deep in ber heart. Tfaey came home to her with convincing power, aeemiug to compre¬ hend all her need; and Annie, her heart humbled and softened by her great sorrow, feeliug, oh how deeply, the need of an All- powerful Comforter and Helper, and also realizing ber sinfulness and uuworthinesa, prayed with earnest sincerity for the mercy aud pardon of a merciful Saviour.
Annia found her refnge. Tbencefortb, whatever of sorrows aud triala should asaail

¦more than you thought—and my plan was instantly determi¬ ned npon."
They contiuued in conversatiou until itwas interrupted by tbe arrival of Mr. Kirkwood, who had been aliaent for a few days.
Mra. Lothrop met him in tbe library.. Af¬ ter informing him of her near departure, she said:.
" I fear you will be disappointed, Eustace, wbeu you learn that Annie, iustead of Edith, 13 to accompany me home."
A glow of undiagnised pleasnre illuminated the gentleman's face.
"I am glad of it," he replied heartily.
Mrs, Lothrop was astoniabtd, for sbe bad believed him interested in Edith; . aud she looked at him inquiringly.
He replied to tbo glance fraukfy..
" It is trno ; I cannot d«ny it. Anuie, witb all her coldness aud reserve, intereats me far more deeply thau Edith, with her beauty aud -brilliancy."
Mrs. Lothrop's face expressed her pleasure at tbis avowal. - ¦
He continued :, " t must' confess to yon, bowever, my dear-aunt, humiliatiug as istbe fact, thai tbis yonng girl is iee so far as re¬ gards myself.    Ii ig erident sbe dislikes me.'*
" Ico will thaw," replied Mrs. Lothrop, with a smile. " You will bave aU; opportuuity at Oakn ood, to endeavor to oontiner this dis¬ like."    ¦ ,
- Mouday moruiug came, and tbe three de¬ parted. Tbe carriage-was watcbed from the windows till it disappeared from vtBw,by Mrs. Rathburu and her danghteis, witb feelings of inexpressible jealousy aud bitternoKs. They said to themselves and each otber, tbat they bad been deceivod and injured. They felt uo gratitnde for, or pleasure iu, the elesaut aud valnable gifts Mrs. Lotlirop had bestowed upon eaoh of tbem.
In the new atmosphere of love and kind ness in wbich she now lived, Aoniegradually became a different being—altbougli nevor tbe gay, laugbter-ioviug girl sbe wonld have beoui had sorrow never touched her.
